      To privilege dishonour in thy name��

        Thou back'st reproach against long´living laud��

        And mak'st fair�察�reputation but a bawd。



      'Hast thou command�拭�by him that gave it thee��

      From a pure heart command thy rebel will��

      Draw not thy sword to guard iniquity��

      For it was lent thee all that brood to kill。

      Thy princely office how canst thou fulfill��

        When patterned by thy fault foul sin may say

        He learned to sin�察�and thou didst teach the way��



      'Think but how vile a spectacle it were

      To view thy present trespass in another。

      Men's faults do seldom to themselves appear��

      Their own transgressions partially they smother��

      This guilt would seem death´worthy in thy brother。

        O�察�how are they wrapped in with infamies

        That from their own misdeeds askance their eyes��



      'To thee�察�to thee�察�my heaved´up hands�察�appeal��

      Not to seducing lust�察�thy rash relier��

      I sue for exiled majesty's repeal��

      Let him return�察�and flatt'ring thoughts retire。

      His true respect will prison false desire��

        And wipe the dim mist from thy doting eyne��

        That thou shalt see thy state and pity mine。'



      'Have done�察�quoth he�察�'my uncontrolled tide

      Turns not�察�but swells the higher by this let。

      Small lights are soon blown out�察�huge fires abide��

      And with the wind in greater fury fret。

      The petty streams that pay a daily debt

        To their salt sovereign�察�with their fresh falls' haste

        Add to his flow�察�but alter not his taste。'



      'Thou art'�察�quoth she�察�'a sea�察�a sovereign king��

      And�察�lo�察�there falls into thy boundless flood

      Black lust�察�dishonour�察�shame�察�misgoverning��

      Who seek to stain the ocean of thy blood。

      If all these petty ills shall change thy good��

        Thy sea within a puddle's womb is hearsed��

        And not the puddle in thy sea dispersed。



      'So shall these slaves be king�察�and thou their slave��

      Thou nobly base�察�they basely dignified��

      Thou their fair life�察�and they thy fouler grave��

      Thou loathed in their shame�察�they in thy pride。

      The lesser thing should not the greater hide��

        The cedar stoops not to the base shrub's foot��

        But low shrubs wither at the cedar's root。



      'So let thy thoughts�察�low vassals to thy state´

      ;No more��' quoth he�察�'by heaven�察�I will not hear thee。

      Yield to my love�察�if not�察�enforced hate��

      Instead of love's coy touch�察�shall rudely tear thee��

      That done�察�despitefully I mean to bear thee

        Unto the base bed of some rescal groom��

        To be thy partner in this shameful doom。'



      This said�察�he sets his foot upon the light��

      For light and lust are deadly enemies��

      Shame folded up in blind concealing night��

      When most unseen�察�then most doth tyrannize。

      The wolf hath seized his prey�察�the poor lamb cries��

        Till with her own white fleece her voice controlled

        Entombs her outcry in her lips' sweet fold��



      For with the nightly linen that she wears

      He pens her piteous clamours in her head��

      Cooling his hot face in the chastest tears

      That ever modest eyes with sorrow shed。

      O�察�that prone lust should stain so pure a bed��

        The spots whereof could weeping purify��

        Her tears should drop on them perpetually。



      But she hath lost a dearer thing than life��

      And he hath won what he would lose again。

      This forced league doth force a further strife��

      This momentary joy breeds months of pain��

      This hot desire converts to cold disdain��

        Pure Chastity is rifled of her store��

        And Lust�察�the thief�察�far poorer than before。



      Look as the full´fed hound or gorged hawk��

      Unapt for tender smell or speedy flight��

      Make slow pursuit�察�or altogether balk

      The prey wherein by nature they delight��

      So surfeit´taking Tarquin fares this night��

        His taste delicious�察�in digestion souring��

        Devours his will�察�that lived by foul devouring。



      O�察�deeper sin than bottomless conceit

      Can comprehend in still imagination��

      Drunken Desire must vomit his receipt��

      Ere he can see his own abomination。

      While Lust is in his pride�察�no exclamation

        Can curb his heat or rein his rash desire��

        Till�察�like a jade�察�Self´will himself doth tire。



      And then with lank and lean discoloured cheek��

      With heavy eye�察�knit brow�察�and strengthless pace��

      Feeble Desire�察�all recreant�察�poor and meek��

      Like to a bankrupt beggar wails his case��

      The flesh being proud�察�Desire doth fight with Grace��

        For there it revels�察�and when that decays

        The guilty rebel for remission prays。



      So fares it with this faultful lord of Rome��

      Who this accomplishment so hotly chased��

      For now against himself he sounds this doom��

      That through the length of times he stands disgraced��

      Besides�察�his soul's fair temple is defaced��

        To whose weak ruins muster troops of cares��

        To ask the spotted princess how she fares。



      She says her subjects with foul insurrection

      Have battered down her consecrated wall��

      And by their mortal fault brought in subjection

      Her immortality�察�and made her thrall

      To living death and pain perpetual��

        Which in her prescience she controlled still��

        But her foresight could not forestall their will。



      Ev'n in this thought through the dark night he stealeth��

      A captive victor that hath lost in gain��

      Bearing away the wound that nothing healeth��

      The scar that will�察�despite of cure�察�remain��

      Leaving his spoil perplexed in greater pain。

        She bears the load of lust he left behind��

        And he the burden of a guilty mind。



      He like a thievish dog creeps sadly thence��

      She like a wearied lamb lies panting there��

      He scowls�察�and hates himself for his offence��

      She�察�desperate�察�with her nails her flesh doth tear��

      He faintly flies�察�sweating with guilty fear��

        She stays�察�exclaiming on the direful night��

        He runs�察�and chides his vanished�察�loathed delight。



      He thence departs a heavy convertite��

      She there remains a hopeless castaway��

      He in his speed looks for the morning light��

      She prays she never may behold the day。

      'For day'�察�quoth she�察�'night's scapes doth open lay��

        And my true eyes have never practised how

        To cloak offences with a cunning brow。



      'They think not but that every eye can see

      The same disgrace which they themselves behold��

      And therefore would they still in darkness be��

      To have their unseen sin remain untold��

      For they their guilt with weeping will unfold��

        And grave�察�like water that doth eat in steel��

        Upon my cheeks what helpless shame I feel。'



      Here she exclaims against repose and rest��

      And bids her eyes hereafter still be blind。

      She wakes her heart by beating on her breast��

      And bids it leap from thence�察�where it may find

      Some purer chest to close so pure a mind。

        Frantic with grief thus breathes she forth her spite

        Against the unseen secrecy of night��



      'O comfort´killing Night�察�image of hell��

      Dim register and notary of shame��

      Black stage for tragedies and murders fell��

      Vast sin´concealing chaos� �nurse of blame��

      Blind muffled bawd� �dark harbour for defame��

        Grim cave of death� �whisp'ring conspirator

        With close´tongued treason and the ravisher��



      'O hateful�察�vaporous and foggy Night��

      Since thou art guilty of my cureless crime��

      Muster thy mists to meet the eastern light��

      Make war against proportioned course of time��

      Or if thou wilt permit the sun to climb

        His wonted height�察�yet ere he go to bed��

        Knit poisonous clouds about his golden head。



      'With rotten damps ravish the morning air��

      Let their exhaled unwholesome breaths make sick

      The life of purity�察�the supreme fair��

      Ere he arrive his weary noon´tide prick��

      And let thy musty vapours march so thick

        That in their smoky ranks his smoth'red light

        May set at noon and make perpetual night。



      'Were Tarquin Night�察�as he is but Night's child��

      The silver´shining queen he would distain��

      Her twinkling handmaids too�察�by him defiled��

      Through Night's black bosom should not peep again��

      So should I have co´partners in my pain��

        And fellowship in woe doth woe assuage��

        As palmers' chat makes short their pilgrimage。
